The most Epic.
I have a great idea for a space-themed NES, but I really don't think I'd be a good person to host it..
Second Imperial Era
It is 2040 AD, and a new era is dawning. The world, though chaotic as usual, did not suffer any extincting natural disaster, or war, or dystopian governments taking over. The most important event during that time was the complete collapse of the EU in 2027. Southern Europe has been in chaos ever since then (and as usual, American/UN peacekeeping forces are there, much to the public's chagrin), but the Big Three of the UK, France, and Germany were able to recover fairly quickly, with most of northern Europe following them. The 2030s saw the advent of the Asian Moon Race, with India, Russia, Japan, and China competing to get a man on the moon, which the Russians won mere days ahead of the Chinese ship. All four countries did eventually get a man on the moon by 2036, with the European Big Three each getting their own lunar mission in 2039. While an American crew did land on an asteroid in 2038, a Mars landing was delayed to the 2040s, while other countries also have a Mars landing planned for that timeframe. Brazil, South Korea, and Sweden also have lunar missions planned. With all the emphasis on space, there is no question that colonization will happen, and soon. The world's nation's emphasis on proving their superiority is leading to a Second Imperial Era, and like the Americas and Africa before it, the cosmos will be shaped by human hands.
But the cosmos... are infinite.
Yeah, so my idea is a colonization NES, set in space. Of course, the players will also have to manage Earth events, but space is the center of this NES. Only a few nations start out space-capable, and players of other nations will have to get enough money to create launches. Eventually, I plan for the players to nationalistically colonize the Moon, then Mars, but things will really get exciting when the Asteroid Belt and the Jovian moons are reached, with the abundance of relatively close worlds, with resources. This game will probably be focused on the colonization of the Solar System, though maybe a sequel could feature interstellar travel...
